Some background music. You're going to need it: we're going to be here a while.

To find out who I imagine some of the OCs (and Leviathan in English) to sound like, the story's Trivia page at TV Tropes here has a list of them under "Hypothetical Casting".

Part of my slowness in writing M.L.G.'s latest chapter is for the usual reasons: tiredness, minor depression, having other things on the mind, that sort of thing. However, in what can only be described as "whimsy", I've recently decided to complete a list of all of the intentional shout-outs and references in the story as of the most recent chapter.

Don't ask me why. I couldn't explain it if I tried.

I have a message to share with prospective authors. If you go into writing a story---be it as a living, or just for fun---don't automatically assume that what you're doing is wholly original.

That pretty much summarizes my mental state of the past few days. Constantly tired (half due to not getting enough sleep and half due to my walking regimen), and I can't really think of things I want to write for the story. You know you're having trouble finding things to talk about when your brain fishes for tuna, but ends up with guppies instead.

I copied the latest chapter of M.L.G. to my flash drive as usual. I took it home with the intent to post it today. I double-click the file.

Or, to put it another way, the rules I abide by when it comes to the stuff I write on this site. My mind doesn't necessarily function the same way everyone else's does, so there may be some discrepancies. Have some background music in the meantime.

There've been a few comments in my most recent chapter of M.L.G. saying that they were curious about the "City-Wide Heartsong" plan I originally had for Illudere's battle. Obviously I can't go back and make that huge a change to the story, but what I can do is start planning ahead for the Third-Anniversary Chapter in August.

The ACs have been non-canon for the most part, so I intend to have a lot of fun with this alternate take.

I went back through the first handful of chapters for M.L.G., from the opening up through "Alexandrite", and made some minor edits. Nothing that would impact the plot or anything like that.

Been a while since I started the process, but I'm almost done mirroring M.L.G. over at Archive Of Our Own. I've gotten as far as "Shine Aqua Illusion", and I expect to have it fully posted within the next 3-4 days. So if by some chance you want to read it over there instead of here, feel free.

...and other times I go with the flow.

Last night, I dreamed that Rainbow Dash and I were attacking an auction being held by the Joker. RD spent some time giving him the run-around (fly-around?) while I grabbed whatever I could. At the end of it Batman showed up to capture the Joker, checked the items I'd taken for any traps, and thanked us for our time and effort before sending us on our way.
